TypeError: require.extensions.hasOwnProperty is not a function

I just tried this project by following the instructions to npm install and npm start but got an error:

npm start

> [email protected] start /home/src/cubevizjs
> gulp

/home/src/cubevizjs/node_modules/require-dir/index.js:93
            if (!require.extensions.hasOwnProperty(ext)) {
                                    ^

I found this https://robertwray.co.uk/blog/gulp-node-js-and-require-extensions-hasownproperty-is-not-a-function

which describes changing

if (!require.extensions.hasOwnProperty(ext)) {

to

if (!Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(require.extensions, ext)) {

That seemed to work

Hi @howff, thank you for the report.

@GeorgesAlkhouri: What do you think?

Sorry, currently I have no time to look into this.
